•Stablefocusingnomattertheheightoftheworkpiece.
• Stages come in various sizes with an accuracy of ± (3.5 + 0.02L) μm, letting you perform highly accurate and stable measurements and obtain reliable data for any type of workpiece.
• Its rigid construction allows for a maximum load capacity of 20Kg, and its 100 mm heightwise stroke enables large-contour workpieces to be placed on the stage.
• The 90 mm working distance ensures that you can focus, even with stepped workpieces, without worrying about collisions.
• Sub-pixel processing enables high-accuracy edge detection.

Traceable to national standards
Uses standards traceable to national standards
•Fromthetrustedleaderinmetrology,Mitutoyo'sQuickImagesystemsaredirectlytraceabletoNIST.
Traceability is an essential requirement for all measurements. At Mitutoyo, we consider providing traceability to our customers to be a critical part of our business. Traceability is often referred to as a ”chain of comparisons,"and that chain always starts with a precise definition. For length measurements, the meter is defined by how far light moves in a vacuum in a defined amount of time. The job of reducing that definition into a practical measurement belongs to the world’s National Metrology Institutes (NMI). The NMI in the United States is the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where they realize and transfer the definition of length to physical measurements of gage blocks, line scales and other primary standards. From there, traceable measurements at other laboratories and factories are possible. Mitutoyo factories and calibration labs regularly send their standards to NIST; however, traceability can also be established through other recognized NMIs, such as the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ). The world’s leading NMIs, such as NIST and NMIJ, routinely participate in intercomparisons to ensure global traceability to the same unit of length.
